Note: For the comfort and ease of all, it has to be admitted that at present there are three types of people: (a) Those fully in slumber, (b) those who are half-asleep, and (c) those who are 100% alert and awake. What follows is a factual, verifiable account; it is neither rumour nor hearsay. The intent is to clean the organisation. We do not want the misdeeds of certain Wts to be reported in major leading newspapers of that area. That will be very bad.

Namaskar,
All know that a few months back the situation was dire: In-charge Didi Ananda Dyotona was on the cusp of giving one of our home girls to the government orphanage – as has been done in the past with other home girls. So we know from first-hand experience that this yields an awful outcome.
It is a relief to report that the situation has since cooled off and we are in a holding pattern. We seem to be in some type of probationary period.
The home girl is safe and still in our care – for the time being anyway. In what seems to be a temporary move, after much public outcry, Didiji positioned the girl in Rewa (MP), under the care of another Didi.
From here forward we will have to monitor the situation and see what happens. If tension mounts where the in-charge Didi again tries to deposit our home girl in the government orphanage, then we will be ready to raise the voice and intercede.
Following are more news and updates about our Ananda Marga children’s homes as well as a report about what happened to the last children’s home girl that was sent to a government orphanage.
Tragically in some of our own Children’s Homes, pseudo-culture values are in vogue as the girls learn all kinds of pop songs and dances from the TV and radio etc. They long for that filmy way of life. This is what happens when young impressionable minds are subjected to the brunt of materialism and not given any scope for moral training and spiritual life.
Sadly, a few Didis have utterly failed those children in this regard by not instilling within them any higher values. After all, according to Baba’s system, that is the way our children’s homes are to be run. Those girls are to be given love and affection as well as all kinds of dharmic teachings: Sadhana, kiirtan, spiritual and moral training, 16 points, and more. The aim first and foremost is for those children to dedicate their lives for suffering humanity and become wholetime workers. In the event that this does not happen, then those girls should marry and lead a margii life.
So it is absolute abhorrent that a few didis have completely drifted from Baba’s ideals and guidelines and instead exposed these young girls to the ills of sensual materialism. The end result is that the girls get hooked to pseudo-culture. This is the very real situation that we are facing these days – sadly enough. Such didis should be taken to task and face punishment as in many cases they have literally ruined the lives of those young girls. It is criminal how those didis have misled those innocent young girls. Such didis should be held responsible and face inquiry from a tribunal etc. Such incidents must not be taken lightly.
As noted above, Baba has specifically mandated that home girls are to be given love and affection and proper training to become dedicated wholetime workers. These girls are to be given all the guidelines so they can realise the greatness of spiritual life and serve society. This is their special dharma. That is Guru’s wish. First and foremost, home girls are to be raised in a way that they will naturally adopt WT life. They will be great sadhakas who give their all for society.
If however, any home girl truly does not wish to become a Wt, then it is Didi’s duty to arrange a proper marriage so the girl leads margii life.
In a recent case, the overall in-charge Didi directly and indirectly contravened Guru’s order. Indirectly in that she oversees and is responsible for all the childrens’ homes yet in these homes the girls are not given dharmic training – rather they are introduced to pseudo-culture. So that is one way Didi was going against Guru’s order.
And Didiji was directly disobeying Guru by her willingness to give our home girls to government orphanages where the girl would have ended up married to a Muslim man, as has been the case in the past. And this case – carried out around a few years ago by a different Didi - should be highlighted and brought to the fore. It is shocking that Didi Ananda Dyotona would even plan to take taking that same type of decision.
So neither is in-charge Didi ensuring that the girls are raised in a dharmic manner that will prepare and inspire them for WT life, nor was Didi watching to ensure that the girls are properly leading a dharmic way of life. Thus on multiple fronts Didi Ananda Dyotona is doing injustice with those girls and going against Guru’s order.
Here are some of the Wt rules of conduct that Didis are supposed to follow.
- “One should leave all sorts of luxuries.” (37 Wholetime Worker Rules, pt #6)
- “One should make others good by becoming an ideal person.” (37 Wholetime Worker Rules, pt #22)
These are WT rules for Didis, plus there are so many more codes of conduct our WT Didis must adhere to in their individual life as well as being caretakers of home girls.
MUST NOT EXPOSE HOME GIRLS TO DEGRADING PSEUDO-CULTURE
Here Baba gives the warning about the noxious, degrading, and vulgar ways of pseudo-culture.
"“ra, ra, ra – cha, cha, cha,”...Let us sing and dance our way to hell,”" (MVNS)
"Seduced by the bestial instincts hidden in the secret recesses of their minds, people surrender to base propensities. But improvements in education and the social environment can help to bring this beast under control and make it obey their commands. To achieve this the first thing people have to do is to wage war against their animal propensities, which is no easy task. So cunning exploiters, by encouraging animality, are able to bring people under their sway."
"The cinema industry suffers from this malady. This industry is controlled by a handful of business persons who make films according to popular taste and demand. While ordinary people naturally run after those films which in their ideas, language or visual images cater to their base propensities, such ideas, language or images instantly distort the ideals of the idealist beyond recognition."
(Human Society - 1, Education)
In today's capitalistic society, in the name of "freedom of expression" all kinds of debased and vulgar things are done. Advertisements are littered with images of half-naked, even fully naked females. Day by day this vulgarity is increasing and is pervasive across television, the film industry, videos etc. Greedy capitalists abuse the right of "freedom of expression" by catering to one's beastly propensities. They purchase artists to carry out this heinous activity in profession ways thereby alluring innocent people. Youths are particularly susceptible to this degrading trap. Politicians and judges pay a blind eye and deaf ear to these escapeades and in result the common people get caught in this net.
Our WT Didis are supposed to safely navigate our home girls through this mess of degrading pseudo-culture but instead they encourage it by importing it into the children's home. That is the tragedy that is utterly unforgivable. Because in this way those innocent and tender home girls become veritable pawns of pop culture. This tragic outcome directly contravenes Guru's guideline.
Our Wt Didis are supposed to act as the loving caretakers of these home girls. These innocent youths have no parents of their own and thus are fully dependent upon Didi. Yet, under Didi's care they are led astray. Baba has issued a stern warning about this.
“If parents fail to carry out their basic duties, I am compelled to say that, although they live in society, they are guilty of encouraging an antisocial mentality. By encouraging their children to develop a criminal psychology, they give unnecessary trouble to the police. The main point is this: for want of a little care, children are deprived of the opportunity to become complete human beings, even though they have a human structure. (Human Society Part 1, Education)
Here below Baba guides us that in-charge Didis at our children's homes are to those kids towards the path of dharma, not into the dark cloud of materialism.
"A mind engaged in degenerating thought invites negative microvita. Good company, good books, good literature, good songs, kiirtanas (devotional chanting) elevate the mind and the mind becomes sanctified." (MVNS)
"Can those whose necks and backs are crushed under the weight of pseudo-culture, be expected to hold their heads high in any sphere of life? Hence it is the bounden duty of every rational person to save innocent people from pseudo-culture." (Liberation of Intellect - Neo-Humanism: Disc 7)

CHILDREN'S HOME REPORT - 1:

SUCH DIDIS NEGLECT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY
